Problem

The "Open Project" modal (Cmd+O) in the web UI currently only shows a generic file browser. Users have no quick way to access projects they've recently worked on. The homepage does have this feature but that seems to be gone once you select a project.

Solution

Display the top 5 most recently accessed projects in the "Open Project" modal, sorted by last access time.

Thanks for the detailed feature request! This brings valuable feature parity between web and TUI.

You may want to review these related issues to ensure full compatibility:

  • #7877: WebUI 'Recent projects' limited to 5, no way to see all projects
  • #7111: Recent projects not found in 'Open Project' dialog search
  • #12487: Web UI 'Open project' modal shows no server folders

These cover edge cases and existing limitations with recent project handling that your implementation should account for.
